I fully agree that Milei is at best dangerous to Argentina, but the country's economy has been kinda fucked up for a while. Inflation has been mad and growth has been generally negative for at least a decade

Yes, but neoliberal shock therapy is not gonna make it better. If you look at history of neoliberalism, it made everything worse every single time.

It looks like I actually replied to the wrong person accidentally. I had meant to post that under Virkkunen's comment rather yours. I do agree with you though

But what is going to make it better?

The problem is that the election was between Captain Anachrocapitalism and a continuation of Peronist policies which included a lot of government intervention.

He was won because he ran against everything the government represented.

But what is going to make it better?

Maybe organizing workers into political representation. I know it's not easy, but desperate voting for a fucking ancap just to get a change from bad to much worse is not it, unless someone is accelerationist.

So once you organize, what do you do?

What policies do you implement?
